I remember those old B&W films of the PT-Boats, in wooden stays. The crew let the tide go out. Then worked hard on cleaning hull. And repair of bullet holes. I see so mean NEW boats at boat shows. With no paint on our drive. Or the bottom painted. New owner has to add that into cost. If boat is left in SALT water. There is NEW bottom paints coming out for large ship.
This video is different.
Nice work. Feed Wikepedia to a computer voice and put together other people’s clips to sort of match. It works. What the video didn’t mention is how astonishingly bad that job stinks. You get a ship into dry dock, it sits out of water in the sun and all those barnacles and other critters on the hull die and begin decomposing, and then you come along and start scraping the mess off…it’s a stench you’ll never forget.
